She tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear and heaved a deep breath. She's anxious. Krysie didn't got the chance to ask Carson this noon about Ivan's sudden disappearance. She's curious. So much."Is this all, Ma'am?" the cashier asked her with a wide smile.She nodded her head and brushed her fingers through her hair. "Yes."She's in the mall all by herself to buy Carson a gift. Seriously, she doesn't know what to give him and so she passed to this jewelry store and asked if they make personalized necklaces or rings and gladly they said yes. So here she is, buying a personalized bracelet for Carson engraved with his name. It has a gold tag with a leather strap. She likes it, hoping Carson would.She whistled while patiently waiting for the engraving to be done. She still needs to return to school or else Carson will start questioning her again."Don't you want it for couples? It would be good if you wear the same personalized bracelet," suggested by the saleslady who assisted
Someone knocked on her door, probably it's the maid asking if she's already settled. Well, today is the day they'll fly to Indonesia for two things. Vacation and birthday celebration. Her mother and stepfather didn't make it last night so they'll go directly to Bali after their work.She tried convincing her mother last night that she won't come but end up packing her things because Carson went here in her room and persuaded her using his puppy blue eyes. Damn that man. He looks cute and hot at the same time!It's been four days since she and Hunter got encountered. Elias didn't bother talking to her or approaching her. She's just like air to the two. Invisible and hard to see making her think twice whether to give the bracelets she bought for them or nah."Miss Sey, Young Master Carson said you need to go down," said the maid who was knocking.She rubbed her temple. "Yeah, just a moment."She's still sleepy. She wants to sleep and badly wants to sleep. But according to Carson, our fl
She's silently listening to the wind coming from her opened window, whispering through her ear and making her feel at ease. It's already ten in the evening. Everyone's asleep, maybe they're tired because of the long journey. She's tired, too. But something's keeping her awake this night.Her eyes darted into her ankle. The anklet is still nowhere to be found. Maybe it's already gone for good now. That's sad. She'd been keeping that anklet for two years and it was gone now. How stupid she is.Her hand reached for her chest and balled it into a fist. She shut her eyes close and heaved a deep breath. It's hard to deny but she missed him. There's a part of her that wants to see him but there's also a part of her that's afraid of that day to happen."I just need milk," she murmured to herself before going out of her room.The house is silent. The dim lights coming from the lamp in the living room are the only source of light. This is the first time that she has traveled away from New York.
"Are you sure you won't come?" she asked Carson while shaking his shoulders.He hummed and pulled her arm. A squeal escape from her mouth the moment she landed on his body. He wrapped his arms around her and buried his face at the crook of her neck. "Can we leave it for tomorrow? I'm still sleepy."She reached for his cheeks and gently tapped his cheeks. "How dare you leave it for tomorrow when I woke up early just for this?""Let's sleep," he mumbled against her neck.She shook her head. Looks like she can't force him anymore. From the looks of him, he looks so sleepy and exhausted. Maybe because of the long drive. And here she is, very excited to see Mount Batur and witness the beautiful sunrise.She pulled off his arms that were wrapped around her waist and carefully moved away from his body. She lifted the comforter up to his neck to cover his body from cold. Her hands caressed his cheeks first before deciding to proceed outside his room."Where is he?" Elias asked the moment she
"Hush now," he whispered and hugged her tightly.For a moment, she felt safe. Her heart feels warm in her stepbrother's arms. His embrace is like telling her she's fine. The tourists together with them are eyeing them in confusion. Of course. She's supposed to be happy while witnessing the sun rise above the clouds, but no. Her heart is tightening with the fucking hurtful memories."I-I'm sorry..." she muttered and nuzzled on his neck. "I'm sorry I broke down in front of you."Elias just hugged her tight. She continues crying on his neck until she starting sobbing. She can't understand why she's so comfortable crying when Elias is around.After a while, she asked Elias to go home. She wanted to rest now. What she witnessed in the sky is enough for her to go home. At least in her lifetime, she was able to visit this beautiful place. She's not sure anymore if she'll come back here."Brat..." He held her wrist making her halt. She turned to look at him and found how serious his face is.
"No." She shook her head in disapproval and smiled. "I promised Tito that I'll come with you."Carson stared at her as if thinking deeply about whether to agree on letting her come with him or nah. She fell asleep on the couch this morning after their breakfast and woke up in her room. Whoever carried her, she's thankful. She thought she'll wake up with back pain."You need to rest, Sey. I'll go with Elias." He smiled at her making her roll her eyes."I want to visit the places here, Carson." She went to him and hugged his waist, looking up at him. "Please?"Carson let out a groan of frustration. It's as if complaining but definitely submitting. She can't help herself but smile and pinched his cheeks. He's cute, and handsome at the same time."Okay, okay. Change your clothes now. I'll be waiting for you outside," he said and kissed her forehead.She nodded and went straight to where her room is. She locked the door and took off her shirt without bothering to go inside the bathroom. He
Later that afternoon, Krysie stayed in her room and having a deep thought. For the nth time, she let Hunter kiss her and manipulate her just like he always does. She can't find the proper reason for letting him kiss her.She pulled her hair frustratedly and huffed. Her stares darted into the black box that contained the gift she bought for Carson and the siblings. She forgot to give Elias the bracelet this morning so she'll give this on Carson's birthday.Her phone from the nightstand vibrated. She immediately reaches for it and answers the call after seeing Saki's name as the caller ID. She wondered how did she able to contact her when she's far away from NYC?"Hey, Saki! You called?" she asked happily. Look how she changed her mood in an instant."I just called to ask you if you made an Instagram account? I saw your recent post," she replied. "And oh, I missed you! I wanted to bond with you but I'm in Japan at the moment."Her forehead creased. "Instagram? I don't remember I created
She pursed her lips and rubbed her palms together. She's wearing a maroon two-piece that her mom bought for her. It's a strapless bra. The color of these clothes lifted her skin tone. Her breast is showing off. Good thing her mom noticed the size of her breast.Her monologue was disturbed by her mother's knock. "Does it fit you? Come out now."Her fingers carefully scratched her eyebrow as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She has curves, all right. Her waist size is twenty-four and she has a round butt. And she can't fucking understand why the hell she can't find her confidence. This is very frustrating!"Y-Yes, Mom. Just a moment," she replied.Her Mother tied her hair in a fishtail. Some of her stray hairs fell upon the side of her face, she looks cute. Well, that's self-love. Grr.After staring at herself, she finally had the courage to open the bathroom door to show herself to her mom who's excitedly waiting for her to come out."Uhm..." Krysie cleared her throat. "H-Ho
